So, Sancha River had always been particularly good at flood prevention. At the start of summer every year, the township organized people to constantly monitor the rivers on both the east and west, diligently watching the water levels. At the Village Entrance, sacks of sand and piles of earth were always ready, and at the first sign of trouble, a portion of the Village Entrance would be closed off. If the situation worsened, it would be completely sealed off, strictly preventing floodwaters from entering the town.
Young people who had never experienced such floods tended to take these precautions lightly, a sentiment that held some truth. Indeed, since the year of the major flood, not once in over twenty years had the waters risen into the town again.
